"SOVIET CANNON-
A Comprehensive Study of Soviet
Guns and Ammunitionin Calibres 12.7mm to 57mm" is the result of more than ten
years of research by Christian Koll. It
is the first book in any western language that brings together all
available
information on medium-calibre Soviet arms and ammunition. This type of
weapon
includes large calibre machine guns, aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns,
light
tank and anti-tank guns, as well as infantry fighting vehicle cannon
and
grenade launchers.

In
a total of 586 pages this book covers every aspect of these weapons
including
the history of development, the operating mechanism, the types of
ammunition
made in all of the Warsaw Pact countries including markings and
designation
systems, ammunition packaging, belt links and charger clips, powders,
high
explosives and ballistics. Besides standard service issue weapons, many
experimental designs are described as well.

Approximately
1,150 colour photos and drawings of arms and ammunition illustrate this
book.
Most of the pictures were taken in Russian museums and from leading
collections
from all over the world.

An
entire chapter is devoted to the history of the Soviet ammunition
plants from
the beginning to present. For the first time a comprehensive study of
Soviet and
Warsaw Pact ammunition manufacturer codes is provided, comprising
approximately
380 different entries, most of which are identified.

Contained
on a CD-Rom that is enclosed with this book are another 286 scale
drawings in
colour of cartridge cases, projectiles and components, both whole and
cutaway views
and showing all markings.

Compared
to the
"Russianammo" webpage, this book offers much more information,
photographs and drawings. While the webpage comprises only 69 pages,
the contents of the book including the
drawings on CD-Rom is 13 times that amount. Please note
that the original "Russianammo"
webpage is at the state of 2005 and is no longer updated or maintained.

The
book "Soviet Cannon" is out of print since 2012. I have no
plans for any additional printings, that is - of course - unless
somebody is interested in a substantial amount of copies.Instead of a printed
version of the book I can offer the book on CD-Rom. The book is in
PDF-format (PDF-version 1.3, printable) and will also contain the
drawings documentation (Appendix 3). Please refer to the "Prices &
Shipping Costs" section further below on this page for more
details.
